Blue FC3S going on yahoo

Hey just thought I would share some pics of an FC we just put together. We bought it at auction with a bad engine and a number of wiring headaches.
Picked up a used 13bt from an Automatic FC that was being recycled with 60k kilo's for 30,000 yen. Put in the engine and and worked out the wiring problems, reinstalled power steering an the complete A/C system (I dont want to do that again). Here are some shots of it.

Mods:
Still has shaken
Knightsports front bumper and complete cage.
coilovers
wheels
2 way LSD
Mazdaspeed clutch and pressure plate
PIAA headlights and Fogs
Greddy I/C
Good compression all around
boost, oil temp, oil pres, water temp gauges
ROM Tuned ECU
Full exhaust
cleared rear tails
Not sure of the make on the sidesteps and rear bumper
there is more that I cant think of


Pic posting doesnt seem to be working right now so here are links to the pics

Dont bother saying how ugly the steering wheel is. I know it is ugly and will be changing it out for a stock wheel or something else soon.

That is not a bad looking steering wheel. It is pretty nice actually.

But it does not match the theme/style of the car for sure.

I am not sure what over fenders those are but they appear to just be a universal type and not made specifically for the FC.

That cage is not for sale but I will be sending a couple FC cages to Cali in a container this winter. I will get some photos up soon in the vendor for sale section.

Thanks for looking guys.
Oh here is a link to the ad.

The car was purchased at the USS auctions with a bad engine. The rear rotor was toast... I bought this one blind because I have a couple spare engines laying around and it went cheap enough that it was not going to bother me to much if it had a bad engine. So a used engine from an automatic was converted over to manual with a mazdaspeed clutch and pressure plate then I ditched the blow off valve cause it was pretty much rusted shut any how hahaha. Over all it is a great car and even if I dont make a killing on selling it, it could still turn into a future customer looking for more mods.
Thanks for the comments and PM's guys!
